to bungy or not to bungy?


We walked up the mountain in Queenstown because we thought it cost about $30 to ride the gondola up. It was long and tiring and when we got to the top i'd admit i almost died. I'm not super fit or anything so that entire hour and a half of uphill slopes almost had me. 

The view, like all views from high places, wasn't a let down. Despite the mist, you could still see most of Queenstown from up there and watching the gondolas ride into what looked like a giant cloud was strangely satisfying knowing i didn't pay all that money to see a foggy scenery during my journey up the mountain like most of the ordinary folk. hmpt.

I spoted a budgy drop off point from where i was but it appeared to be closed. i had hoped to see people jumping off but i'm pretty sure that this particular budgy was no longer in service. Nonetheless, it still looked scary-ish and the drop into the forest doesn't appeal to me.

 Jump off all ye brave souls but i will refuse to be bounded by my ankles and made to jump of a wooden plank like a prisoner on a pirates ship.
